Gathering at Lithgow's iconic Blast Furnace we will enjoy viewing the night sky through a range of telescopes with PhD candidate Trevor Leaman and light refreshments provided by Keshara Indigenous Fusion Food Catering.

Trevor and Tina Leaman are based in Orange where they operate an Astronomy Outreach business Dark Skies Downunder, sharing their knowledge with local schools, community groups and private functions.

Tina is a proud Palawa woman, a skilled artist, researcher and educator who has worked beside Trevor as an Outreach Astronomer and Astronomy Tour Guide in Tasmania, the Northern Territory and New South Wales.

Trevor has completed a PhD in Cultural Astronomy at the University of New South Wales, researching Wiradjuri traditional Astronomical knowledge with the support of the Wiradjuri Elders and knowledge custodians.

Both are members of the Australian Indigenous Astronomy research group, and the Central West Astronomical Society. This research project, known as the Wiradjuri Cultural Astronomy Project, works in tandem with the Wiradjuri Murriyang Project coordinated by Tina Leaman with a focus on cultural STEAM activities and community collaboration.
